dpaa2-switch: fix the error path in dpaa2_switch_rx()
In case of an error in dpaa2_switch_rx(), the dpaa2_switch_free_fd()
function is called in order to free the FD. This is incorrect since the
dpaa2_switch_free_fd() is intended to be used on Tx frame descriptors,
meaning that it expects in the software annotation area of the FD data
to find a valid skb pointer on which to call dev_kfree_skb().
Fix this by extracting the dma_unmap_page() from
dpaa2_switch_build_linear_skb() directly into the dpaa2_switch_rx()
function. This allows us to directly use free_pages() in case of an
error before an SKB was created and kfree_skb() afterwards.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
